LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, 1826. • We were enabled, in the latter part of our yesterday's impression, to lay before our Readers the Extract of letter from Captain CHADS, of His Majesty's Ship Alligator, dated at Melloun, on the 20th January last, giving an account of the renewal of hostilities against the Burmese, in consequence of the expira tion of the time granted for the ratification of the Treaty of Peace by the Court of Ava, and the symp toms of treachery manifested on the part of the Burman Chiefs. We reprint this letter in another Part of our paper, and are enabled to add from other sources, a few additional circumstances. It appears that Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, whose Head Quarters were in advance of Prome, had been first induced to Rtlspect treacherous intentions on the part of the Burmese, by observing that subsequently to the signa ture of the preliminary treaty, an augmentation of the force, 'stationed on the opposite bank of the river, had taken place, and that the enemy was busily employed in forming new stockades. Ile, therefore kept his troops together and waited the termination of the Period fixed on for the ratification of the treaty, viz. the 18th of January.' That day passed over without 41 1 communication. Sir ARCHIBALD, therefore, felt Convinced of the treachery of the Burmese, and of the necessity of striking at once a decisive blow, in order to teach them that he was not to be trifled with. Raving completed all his preparations, he passed the rivet on the '2oth, and stormed the enemy's cain With such signal success, that the Burmese fled in all directions, leaving their military stores, the whole materiel of the camp, and some money, in the posses sion of the British. It is not stated what the intentions of Sir ARCHI BALD , CAMPBELL were with respect to further inilitary operations in consequence of the breaking off of the treaty, but it was supposed he would continue to occupy the position he then held, until some infor mation could be obtained of the future plans of the "my. He had issued, it is said, a proclamation, in Which those provinces ceded, or placed under the pro tection of Great Britain by , the treaty, were called 4pon to declare themselves independent of the King t)t . Ava, and promising them the support of Great Britain in maintaining them as separate states. The design of making Rangoon a free port, another stipu lation of the treaty, it is further stated, will be carried into effect under the same guarantee. The decisive conduct of the British Commander of t he forces, and the signal victory which was at once gained over his perfidious enemy, will, we hope, strike terror again into the Councils of the Empire, and lead to the instant completion of the former treaty. At th e same time we cannot view without alarm, this necessary renewal of hostilities, as our fears pre vail over our hopes; and we are apprehensive that unless the immediate effects of the, victory gained by °or troops, should be the fulfilment of the former treaty by the Burmese, a further very large expendi ture in life and treasure will be required, before such terms can be dictated as will, after thiS proof of. the treachery of the enemy, be absolutely necessary for the security of our own dominions. The Paris Papers of Saturday, and the Dade of S un d a y morning, reached us last night. It is stated on the authority of a letter from Frank fort, that the Emperor NICHOLAS is expected to visit in July, the two great Naval Establishments at Sebas topol and Cronstadt, where the fleets of the Black Sea and Baltic are stationed. The writer of this article must certainly have 'been ignorant of the geographical situation of these places, the distance between which renders a visit from the Emperor in the same month, not very probable, • The Etoile states, that General ROCUF has ad dressed to the Greek Committee a curious document, (which will be found among our extracts from the French Papers, in another column), being a Resolu tion of the Eighth National Assembly at Epidaurus, requesting the British Ambassador. at Constantinople, t o treat for. Peace between the Porte and the. Greek Nation, on certain conditions therein expressed. These conditions would require that no Turk should remain 1n Greece, that the fortresses now held should, be given and that the Greeks should have a Military and Marine force, retaining their flag and coining money, but paying tribute annually, or in an immediate pay. wn. :Frinee DrmsTßlus YPSILANTI has pro tested against - this procteding of the Assembly, as ‘ iti4l4 - lelfenic, and wholly unworthy of a " nation which roay.have been conquered several times, " but which hat never tteated with its tyrants." The high feeling , of this Grecian Chieftain,, would do well to submit to Peace for. his Country, on the conditions on which it is proposed to treat for it, but we fear that they are such as to preclude a hope of their being acceded to by the ambitious Government of the Porte, unless, indeed, the Powers of Europe should jointly insist upon an arrangement of that description.

It contains a long article from Frankfort, Under date of the 9th June, speculating on the probabilities of a rise in the value of French, Austrian, and Darmstadt Securities. The arrival of M. SoLomoig ROTHS CHILD from Vienna, is looked for with some eager nesS. It is said that he will remain at Frankfort for some time before he proceeds to this Country, to be present at the marriage of his eldest son with the daughter of Mr. N. M. ROTHSCHILD of London.

The former under the head of Manilla, bring accounts to the 10th Jan. The new Governor, Don MARIANA RECA FORT, had refused the Chinese presents, in consequence of a resolution he had made to refuse all presents. Several splendid entertainments had been given at the Governor's house, and numerous processions of the people, in token of affec tion to the Government. On some of these occasions their loyalty was carried to an excess absurd and despicable. A portrait of FERDINAND of SPAIN was paraded with great pomp, and the people called upon to salute it. The mob easily led, assembled in multitudes, threw themselves on the ground and worshipped the image of the Spanish legitimate. What an example does this exhibit in a country which has been governed by Europeans for upwards of two centuries. The Cal cutta papers contain the official accounts of the capture of Bhurt pore, and were contemplating the utmost tranquillity in India. — From the above circumstance and the treaty of peace which had been signed with the Burmese, we already know that the latter Power had refused the ratification even on the morning of the day this was fixed to to be done by the Court of Ava, and the hostili ties which immediately followed. The Hamburgh Correspondent, of the 17th inst., has likewise reached us this forenoon, from which we make the following extracts :—lt will be observed by the accounts from Cracow that great damage has been done on the banks of the Vistula by heavy rains, in consequence of which corn has risen considerably. It/Wax, JUNE 13. Prince Charles, his Majesty's son, is gone to St. Petersburgh as Ambassador Extraordinary, to be present at the Coronation of the Emperor Nicholas. In his suite is Major-General Count Von Nostiz, formerly Aid-de-Camp to Prince Blucher,' with whom be shared the imminent danger in the battle of. Ligny, when the Field Marshal fell under his horse. Large supplies of wool have already arrived for the approaching fair. The owners expect better prices than at Leipsic, because our government has assigned 3 millions of dollars to be lent on wool not sold, so that the landholders will not be obliged to sell at a great loss.. WARSAW, JUNG 7. For some days past we have had very hot weather, the thermo meter tieing at 20. to 23. Reaumur. Prince Eugene, of Wurtem burg, has left us again, and continued his journey to Germany. CRACOW, JUNI 3. The continued rains have done much damage, and, in particti laroill the farms on the Vistula are quite ruined ; 11() that it will be years before they can recover. Corn has risen COnSiderably." Ezell...wax ON LONDON. HAMBUROIf, Jura. 16.-37. 5; 2 months, 37. 2. It is stated in private letters, which reached town yesterday, from Cape Cnast•Castle, of the 14th and hith April, that the King of Ashantee has again taken the field, and, ill a desperate battle, defeated the Ackiws, our faithful allies. Commerce is re presented as being at a stand. The Protector brig has arrived from Carthagena, whence she sailed on the 27th April, and has brought letters from Bogota to the 29th March. They are said not to contain any intelligence of the slightest importance. The Protector was originally pur chased in this country, for the service of the Colombian Govern ment, and fitted out as an armed vessel. Her return, therefore, has created some surprise, as it is not clearly ascertained whether she has been rejected by the Colombians, or despatched on some affair of great interest, which is kept cont'ealed. The former is the more general supposition, as it is known that other vessels pur chased in Europe have also been rejected. Of all the enterprising new candidates for the honour of a seat in the House of Commons, we think WILLIAM COBBETT is the most hopeful. He rises far above them allin fortitude, consistency, and in veterate determination, to become' one of the honour able of the land. Had Mr. SUMNER but been blessed with a tithe of Mr. COBBETT'S hardihood, he would not now have to regret that a rival bad been palmed on the county of Surrey. But Mr. StimNER, good easy man, took the advice of his friends, and so lost his election ; while Mr. COBBETT, on the other hand abuses his friencli, as the best way of securing his own. The good people of Preston are lost in admi ration, at the varied feats of eccentricity daily played o il' by the " great reformer." Indeed, so much has his fame spread in these parts (for Mr. C. knows too well that a prophet has no fame at his own turn pike), that the Duke of , MONTE BELLO has gone to see this mountebank performing on the hustings. But, in order to see things as they are, not as they seem, that illustrious stranger should have peeped be hind the scenes, and beheld the mighty Ego, after having denied his own speeches of yesterday, quarrel ling with his best friend in Preston, and his only hope in London, for not reporting his speeches as the ra dical mea n t them, not as he spoke them. But the Reporter of the Morning Herald acted too long as his m an " Friday," and COBBETT paid him off like all his other admirers, by ordering din out of the room as a " false" reporter. Here , we think Mr. CoBBETT is right for once, for any gentleman who report s his speeches must of neces sit y g ive a false re port. We cannot help aw arding due praise to the Preston can did ate for this last proof of his thisparing impartiality, as many bets were pending in the s p ortin g world, that although C QBBETT had set o ut from don with tw o canvass i ng Lon friends he could not number one on his 1' v. a - is---not to the " echoes of ST. STEPHEN's," but the to the congratulations of Ken sington turnpikemen who will give him a frank re ception for the first ti me i n hi s life. But, though CoBBETT is a great man hi his own way, he is a dan gerous original to copy --.and those who would sit in Parliament had better not take Preston in their road, for it may lead, as Mr. ConBETT now suspects, to Coventry. Some peTte gravOy as k, what we Mr. COBBETT do in rialialnent—what does he want there ?" The answer is so plain that we wonder men could ask such questions. ,Why —he .vtotkld du a great deal there—monopolize the whole business— and, like some jealous Turk, Permit no rival near his Throne. Re wants to be the Speaker, and to be called for the rest of his life to " order." The 'election for the county of Oxfotod has termi nated yesterday, by the resignation of Mr. STRATToN. of a stir in. Corn are The expectationsat an end, by Mr. THEMAYNE shrinking from the expences of a contested county election. In Bedford, Colonel MAcQuEEN has secured his return, if we may judge by his immense majority, and the temper of the electors. The Election for the County of Middlesex took place this day at Brentford. Three processions passed along the Strand this morning to the scene of action. The LORD MA ioR, though much pressed, has re fused to stand for the honour of representing Middle sex in Parliament.' It was reported that Mr. MELLtsx would try his luck, but he knows the value of a good memory, and declines. Mr. ELLICE has also some other fish to fry, and st a y s a t Coventry.—No new Candidate presented lihnself, and the old Members, Messrs. BYNG and WHITBREAD, were both returned. We understand that Mr. GOULRURN has been so far compen sated for his disappointment at Cambridge, as to have received an offer from the Archbishop, and other persons of influence in Armagh, to be returned for that city, free of all expense whatever. A Meeting of Ship Owners has this day been held in the City, the result of which has been the appointment of a Committee, consisting of fifteen practical Ship Owners to oppose the report for the classification of shipping, and the interference in private property; for this purpose communication will be held with all the Outports in the•Kingdem.

The Election for Metnbers for the County of Middlesex took place this day at Brentforti. About half-past ten - o'clock the Sheriff, and the Candidate, accompanied by a number of their friends, appeared on the 'hustings, and were loudly cheered. The writ having been read, and the oath administered to the Sheriff, Lord William Russell came forwai 1, and in a short speech, eulogising the page:a conduct of Mr. iirog, propor.cd. that Gentleman as a tit and propeipe'rion to represent the Comity of s.liddlesex in Parliament.—(Lotf cheers.) Mr. TRAPS UO briefly seconded the motion. Mr. RtniiY COCKBURN in rising to propose eft.. Whitbread said, that he never gave a vote except for the interest of the pill ple. In looking round hiin he could find no pet son ao proper to represent time electors of Middlesex es : the tried advocate for. re form—he therefore strongly recommended Mr. Whitbread as a fit and proper person.—(Loud applattee). Mr. 1108110OVE said that he had been requested, (end he deem ed it a high honour) to second the nomination of Mr. 'Whitbread. He felt happy in seeing those friends rally round him, wits had heretofore supported the banners of freedom. The electors of Middlesex. had atchieved a glorious triumph, in return ing Mr. Whitbread in the year 1820, at the same time that those of Westminster had returned him .(Mr..Hobliouse)...... It was a strong proof of his having thine his duty, that they were now unanimous in his support; it was not the man, of whatever family distinction"; but the great cause of Reform, that of which Mr. Whitbread was a strenuous advocate, that rendered him the choice of their adoption. He could bear testimony to the exertions of Mr. Whitbread in Parliament; he sat by his side when he voted fur public liberty, and never saw him shrink from his duty. They had added another instance to the triumphs obtained in Westminster and Southwark, and he would say lastly, Surrey,—(Loud applause)—in terminating this contest by a bloodless victory.—(Cheers.)—To send two Members to Parliament of different political principles was doing less than nothing—it was like two horses pulling different ways.-..one member undoing what the other did. They sent two members who were equally attentive to th e interests of the electors, without caring-what their political sentiments were. He was happy to are that there was no oppositioh'on the present occasion ; hut he hoped if there should he, that the electors would be found to do their duty as they had heretofore.—(Loud applause.) Mr. BYNG returned thanks for the honour they bad done him. The only thing that bore him up tv...e, that if his conduct had not been such as it ought, it had at least been what he could do.—(Great applause.)—As Mr. Hohhouse bad remarked, he never observed any distinction towards any of his Electors. He had paid the greatest attention to the charitable Institutions with which this country abounded. On all questions he attended at his post, and on no occasion was he absent when any question of reform or retrenchment was brought forward.—(Loud applause.) —He hid done his endeavours in alleviating the burdens of the people, and was happy to perceive that his conduct had met their approbation.—(Cheers. )_'.though in what was called the opposi tion, still be was a firm supporter of the Constitution, as handed down by our ancestors. He regretted much, that the country was not. in that state of prosperity in which it ought to be. Ile conceived that he represented the agricultural, the shipping, the manufacturing, and commercial interests, and they might rest assured that on no occasion where these were concerned, would was as fit'm in the cause of the people, as when they had chosen he neglect them. His political sentiments were the same, anti he him for their representative, thirty-six years ago.—(Loud cheers.) tilt. WHITBRIAD said that he WAS overpowered with gratitude, that he felt him se lf i na d e quate to convey his sentiments on this oc casion. He appeared before them now in a different manner from what he did when they had first elected him, for they hail then nothing but hi d promise; but now they had experience of him, and he trusted that they had. found hint on no occasion to shrink front the professions which he had then made. The state of the political atmosphere was different now from what it was then, though Ministers were apparently popular, still they were doing all they could t o k ee p th e ir places. Ile would instance the attempt which had been lat e ly made to impose a tax of 50001. a y ear on the people w i thout the h,,, s t necessity for so doing.., He had sup ported Ministers in the free trade, He felt pleasure in standing before th e e l ec t or s this day to,account for his conduct.— Though he could lay no c l a im to talent, still be hoped he had a sufficient share of common sense. to. enable hint to b e useful to his Constittienta....—(Great applause,)---When in Parham"' he thought . not ,of his o wn iaterests, but of the duty which he, owed to th em . Th ey did , not send him to put money into his ownTocket, but- to take Pima their"e.—(Laughter.}— About twa., Years ag o h e was shOelie4 et eating, Members of par liament joiningin ste e l, c o mpanies , for the, purpose of Waxing the public, and bringing others into the lurch by enrich ing themseivee t , nig o pj o ionS respecting' reform remained unchanged , and he hoped unchangeable. The Hon. Q aut i amin having eXPrtaaad his gratitude for the honour they had done him, sat down amidst thunders of applewee , Thanks were then voted to the Sherds, and the Meeting se, panted. . FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. WINDSOR, .TUNE 19.—Yesterday, afternoon, at three o'clock, his Majesty, attended .by Lord Graves, the Lord in Waiting, entered his pony phaeton, ac companied by part of his usual attendants, with the Earl of Fife, in the 'double-bodied phaeton. His ~lEc,sty, on leaving the Royal Lodge, proceeded through. the new plantations, and the private drive to Frogmore Lodge, where his Majesty entered the Home Park, and drove to , the• Castle, where he again pasSed nearly an hour in the inspection of the works. On leaving the Castle, his Majesty returned by the Long Walk, and on : passing the middle gate, took several delightful drives in the Great Park, and re turned to the Royal . Lodge at half-past six o'clock; and at the usual hour of dinner, his Majesty honoured his distinguished attendants with his company. Yesterday forenoon the Earl of Fife arrived at the Royal Lodge on a visit to his Majesty, This afternoon, at half-past two o'clock, his Ma jesty, accompanied by his attendants and the Earl of Fife, left the Royal Lodge for Virginia Water, where his Majesty indulged in his pleasurable excursions, and at five o'clock (which is the hour that his Majesty dines on these occasions,) returned to the dining-boat, where an elegant dinner, chiefly cold, was served up. After dinner, his Majesty, in general, renews his plea surable excursions until eight o'clock, when lie re turns to the Royal Lodge. The Duke of York continued better yesterday. The Royal Duke was visited by the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday morning. The Duke of Sussex also aid a visit to his Royal Highness on 'Sunday. Sir Henry Halford and Sir Peter Macgregor attended the Royal Duke yesterday. Yesterday, the Duchess of Gloucester and the Princess Sophia visited the Princess Augusta. Mr. Secretary Canning left town yesterday morning for Brighton. We thought public confidence bad been restored, but, notwithstanding, we heard on Saturday of the failure of Bankes at Cambridge. Why is a Lord Lieutenant better than others ? Because he can have only one Vice (lieutenant) and sometimes has none. The cross erected upon our churches was adopted in the fourth century,, to distinguish the edifices in which Christ was worshipped from the Heathen Tem ples. It was called Stauropegium. SPECIMEN OF PUNCTUATION.—At the new Cut which has been made in a hill on the road between High Wickham and Oxford, is the following notice thus carefully pointed :--"You, may, now, go, up the, new, road."--There are too many pauses in this to enable those who run to read. A CLASSICAL APPARITION.—At a dinner party some few months since, the Rev. C. C. C. the avowed patron of the Stamford ghost, (an invisible gentleman who put forth his opinions in Latin, Greek, and Hebrew . ) on being asked to account for the classical propensities of the goblin ; observed that they were perfectly characteristic, " for a dead man.would natu rally wish to speak in a dead language." The late Moonshee, a native Indian teacher at the llaileybuty College, was mentioning to a visitor the expellees of bousekeepini.t o which he declared con sumed the whole at his income : indeed, he said he could hardly support his family. Being asked how many children he had, he replied, " I had eleven, but praised be God, they are all dead but jbur." Tam Bini,rt.—When Henry Wife repaired the clergy to prepare a translation of the Bible, Bishop Gardiner %%anted to retain 99 Latin . words in that language. BY an act passed by Henry, .1446, he forbade all artificers, journeymen, Sze., and all women, except those of rank, to read the scriptures. A curate, with a large family of ten. or tweke chil dren, was enjoying a hie summer evening; under the shade of a lime (not a fig) tree near his door—when two old college ompanions who were coming to pay him a visit, stopped their horses to admire the family group. " There is rural felicity for you," says one. I think," says the other, " considerin our friend's small fortune, I should rather call it rueful facility." • GERMAN POSTING.—The German Postillion seems to be a part of the machinery of the vehicle, cal culated to move at the rate of one German mile per hour, and no more. To this living automaton, threats or persuasions are alike unavailing ; he turns his head at the sound of either, takes the pipe from his mouth, listens, answers " Yaw Mynheer, yaw, yaw," replaces the pipe in his mouth, and jogs on as before.—Ten nant's Tour. An Italian gentleman of the name of Ctesar, who had married a lady called Roma, was annoyed by seeing the following caution posted up on the statue of Pasquin 41 Cave Ciesar ne tna Rome respublica fiat." Under which the indignant bridegroom wrote " Ctesar regnat ;" but bad the farther mortification of seeing the nex morning that his indefatigable enemy had added " Ergo tvionahitur :" alluding to the usual matrimonial decorations of that country. PRICE OF PROVISIONS DURING ELECTIONS. — During the ;diction at Sudbury four cabbages sold for 10/., and a plate of gooseberries fetched - 25/., the sellers, where these articles were so scarce, aping voters. At Great Marlow, on the contrary, things were cheap, and an elector during the election bought a sow and nine young pigslor a penny. Dr. Johnson, a few days bef6re his death, acknow ledged to Mr. J. Nichols, that the Parliamentary debates (in the early volumes of the Gentleman's Magazine) were the only parts of his writings which then gave him any compunction—(did he reflect upon the Life of Milton?)' -`but that at the time he wrote them, he had no conception he was imposing upon the world, though they were frequently written from very slender materials, and (Alen/rout none at all, the mere coinage of his own imagination.—(Here the Dr. seems to have " imposed" upon hiniself.)—He never wrote any part of his works with equal velocity. Three columns of the Magazine in an hour," he said, " was no uncommon effort ;" which was faster than most per sons could have transcribed that quantity. In one day in particular, and that not a very long one, he wrote twelve pages, more in rantity than ever he wrote at any other time, except in the life of Savage ; of which 4$ pages in Bvo, were the production of o ne l ong d ay , including a part of the v night." Of his friend C ave , h e a lways . spoke with great Affection ; "Yet, , ' said he, 4-, C a ve (who never looked out of his window, but with view to the Gentleman's Magazine,) was apenutious pay-master ; he would contract for lines by the hundred, and expect the long hundred; but he was a good mai:: and Always delighted to have his friends at his table. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CIIANCERY.-(Ti DAT.) TNOMPSON P. momrsosi. Mr. Stinnes moved to discharge an Order made by his Honor the Vice.Chaneellor. The bill in this case was filed for the purpose of raising legacies under the Will of a gentleman named Leonard Thompsim. The bill was filed in the year. .1817, . end the heir- a t-l aw .p u t i n -him answer to it, admitting a" Will, made in ;815, t o h e a va lid Will sub sequently a supplemental, till was fil e d, which the same defendant answered without alleging that the will wee not valid, though before the putting in of that answer he had now said be had been previously advised .that the . will ,was rint valid. Afterwards the defendant applied to the. Vice-Cliancellor for an order giving leave to put in further answer, putting into issue the va lidity of the will, on the ground that the testator sea. not of sound, mind when made the will. The Vice-Chan cellor made the order, which Mr. Sugden.submitted ought to be discharged, on the ground that the defendant having known the fact of the testator's unsonndness of mind before he put in his last answer, just as much as he knew it now, and which be had then taken no notice of. KNIGUT opposed the present motion. The question before the other branch of the Court, and the question before his Lord ship was, whether, if an heir-at-law, however in error and mis take, admitted the validity of a will, which was, in fact, not a valid will, was for ever to be concluded, from that cumatance, without ever having an opportunity of deliver ing himself from that admission ? The defendant had dis tinctly stated, that from error and mistake he had omit ted putting the validity of the will in issue, in his last an swer ; and it would be, as Mr. Knight said, an exclusion of jus tice if he were not now to be at liberty to do that which he might his last answer was put in, and appeared b y - h is Assi g nees. to have done before. The Defendant had become a bankrupt sine* His Loanaute's opinion was, that the solicitor for the defend ant ought to make, an affidavit to inform the Court what he knew of the circumstance now brought forward, previous to the putting in of the last answer; and the case was ordered to stand over till such an affidavit could be filed. A mr...u.s. Mr. floaNe applied ftir a case to be advanced to an early day after the first Seal. His LORDSHIP said, he really could not grant the application. From the nature of each and every of the appeals, he had made up his mind to allow nothing whatever to interrupt the hearing of them till after the lust Seal. Some of the appeals were four or five days old ; and from this determination he would be unbend ing, as he. wished the bar to understand. COURT OF KING'S BENCH...4'l'ms DAY). Haar v.

Ma. Emma—The accounts published in your own and other Journals, relative to the state of the South American Securities, arc so extremely alarming, that it is impossible not to believe that they must be founded upon correct information, which you alone poaaess, or at least a few of your most intelligent Brother Jour nalists. In this situation I would wish to inquire if there he any prospect of the Colombian dividend, due sus 15th July next, being paid, as hitherto no notificatiorrof the 'kind 'has appeared in the public prints. Indeed, at the present moment, the Government of that Re public appears not to have any agents in Bogiond since the failure of Messrs. Goldsmidt and :Co, 'fits lag dividend was paid by Messrs. Barclay, Hefting, and Co., in consequence of a special 4 .7 0 7 , Ig ni e 4 m b e t t nnutekwiththe n ext . e ly t the t s m t h e t a ma l ;:t ol4,r,bilistsoor,pr%ws,e'tiy cruel to see the creditors of the American States thus neglected, after having ea profusely .contributed towards the support of those countries ; for where, I would ask, hut from Eng land, could they have obtained those pecuniary resources which so materially contributed to .their independence? Not from the United States, certainly ; for they, though ready to share in the advantage* of their prosperity, as no time expended , a dollar or drop of blood in their cause. To. treat their creditors in this manner, is certainly not the way to secure credit in the eyes of the world, betides; being an act of the basest ingratitude, alike in jurious to their characters and interests. The Cat of Peru hss certainly tended much to increase the alarm that now so generally prevails. If either yourself, Mr. Editor, or any of your corre spondents, can furnish any information upon this *object, you will greatly oblige Your most obedient humble servant, A LOVER OP .GOOD FAITH.
